ICS Technology - Pros

Inflatable Carbon Synthesis

The advantages of inflatable technology

  • Woven Dropstitch double-layer welded technology with double layer rails.
  • Recommended pressure: 15 psi.
  • Transportation: it fits into a bag.
  • Practicality: it inflates in 2 minutes.
  • Safety: the dropstitch absorbs shocks.
  • Aesthetic: the appearance is very pleasing.
  • Durability: highly resistant to rough handling.
  • Longevity: 100% repairable.

The performances of prepreg carbon and fiberglass

  • ICS Full composite prepreg plate, top of the line.
  • High-density foam stringers to limit flex and weight.
  • US rails machined directly into the carbon: incredible performance.
  • Unrivaled stiffness on the market.
  • Unparalleled dynamism and responsiveness.
  • A foil + inflatable combination without any loss of sensation.

An durable board

  • PVC reinforcement under the plate to preserve the board with an additional layer.
  • PVC reinforcement on the plate to protect the carbon and adhesive from heat, and distribute the efforts as far as possible on the plate to avoid detachment.
  • Double non-through brass inserts connected by a carbon fiber rod to easily screw the foil without risking piercing the board.
  • The large diameter leash ring is the strongest on the market. This is essential for wingfoil use.

The shape of our carbon plate is the result of advanced engineering to combine low weight and incredible mechanical performance.

The rectangular outline ensures that the heels are always vertical to the plate, and therefore block longitudinal, lateral flexions and twist.

To optimize the weight, the glide and the management of these flexions, our plate has a unique 3D volume:

  • A beam at the axis prevents any bending.
  • A very smooth drop in volume towards the front reduces the thickness and therefore the weight, while retaining the necessary mechanics to support the pressures of the front heel.
  • At the back, the drop in volume is more brutal to recover the verticality which will support the beam effect of the plate even more.
  • The whole is “fluidized” according to a hydrodynamic study of the flows which also promotes speed in contact with water, which is valuable before flying but also to avoid a big loss of speed when touching the water surface
